1. Security & Order Confirmation

Security – Payment Details

We DO NOT store Credit or Debit Card details. This means that nobody can steal your details as we simply do not have them!

We use Stripe as our payment processing partner who use the most secure up to date encrypted SSL (secure socket layer) when transferring transaction details in the checkout process. This means that no information submitted during this process can be examined, used or modified by any unauthorised third parties. Our customers credit card information never hits our servers, it goes from our customers computer/device straight to Stripes servers keeping their information safe.

Our Customers can also Save their Credit & Debit Cards details for faster payment of any future orders, but for security we DO NOT store these Credit or Debit Card details, instead these details are saved on Stripes servers for added security.

You can pay by most major credit and debit cards. Your details will be encrypted to keep them secure.

Authentication – this assures your browser that your data is being sent to the correct computer server, and that the server is secure.

Encryption – this encodes the data, so that it cannot be read by anyone other than the secure server.

Data Integrity – this checks the data being transferred to ensure it has not been altered.

When you access a website secured by an SSL certificate issued by a trusted Certificate Authority, you will see https:// at the beginning of its URL. Depending on the type of validation a certificate applicant passed prior to the certificate issuance, a browser may also show the connection as secure by displaying a “lock” icon in the address bar.

Order Confirmation

You can pay by most major credit and debit cards. Your details will be encrypted to keep them secure. Once your card details have been processed by Stripe, you will be able to view an onscreen confirmation that your order process is completed and you will also receive an email invoice confirming your order. Additionally, you will also be able to login to your ‘Bothy Threads Ltd’ account to view and check the status of your order.

When you place an order to purchase a product you will receive an automatic e-mail confirming receipt of your order and containing the details of your order, including transaction and order reference numbers. Your order represents an offer to us to purchase a product, which is accepted by us when we process payment for your order.

When we accept your order, we will send a Dispatch Confirmation E-mail.

Any products on the same order which we have not confirmed in a Dispatch Confirmation E-mail to have been dispatched do not form part of that contract.

If you have incorrectly entered your email address your confirmation and dispatch email will fail. So long as payment has been processed successfully this will in no way affect your order.

Failure by us to send a receipt confirmation email or dispatch confirmation email in no way invalidates your offer or our acceptance of your offer.

In the event that your goods are damaged in transit, please contact us within 24 hours of receipt. If you fail to do this, or if goods have been signed for as received in good condition, we may not be able to offer a refund.

If products are not delivered please contact us for details of the tracking and tracing procedure.

If orders are considered by us to be lost in transit after a reasonable period of time has elapsed, we shall at our discretion either refund or resend the order.

When ordering goods from us for delivery overseas you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches the specified destination. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be.

If a package arrives in a damaged condition, do not open it, but immediately ask the delivery firm to return the package, and please inform us immediately.

They allow you to carry information across pages of our site and avoid having to re-enter information.

The EU Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications demands that member states do more to combat spam. The UK law tries to create a system that lets legitimate businesses send direct e-mail to users but attempts to stop the scammers and spammers.

We only send emails to addresses that have been supplied directly to us by customers and we always remove addresses from our address book when requested to do so by those customers.

We never spam.
